    Male OB nurse

    nurse2033 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, thanks for the support sister. I guess discrimination is OK as long as it doesn't point at you

    What are my options?

    nurse2033 replied to kingdave's topic in Government, Military

    Are you near death? If you are a late bloomer I must be over well done and out. I'm in the ANG and I think you can get the military to educate you, but it will go much faster if you do it before. You...

    Male nurse in L&D

    nurse2033 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Anyone heard of a male MD? I'm sick of this type of discussion. If the manager told you they won't hire a male it is discrimination. If you want the job, file a complaint. It will be up to you to sell...

    Male OB nurse

    nurse2033 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What exactly was the hint? I you really want this, you should fight for it. If you aren't hired, ask for a meeting with the manager and HR to discuss it. Make sure you have all the certs or academics...

    I worked as a caregiver before taking up nursing. Advice on resume please?

    nurse2033 replied to jobhunting's topic in General Nursing

    I would list all your previous experience as it is pertinent. If an agency went out of business that's not your fault, list

    Leave first job because of rotating?

    nurse2033 replied to EDnursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    I think rotating shifts are crap. There is no harm in you looking for another job. Just don't quit this one until you do. It might take you six months to find and get a new job. Good

    Which organization to join?

    nurse2033 replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    I advocate joining your state nursing association which I think is almost always tied to the ANA. Meaning you can pay a little more than your state association and also join the national. Those...

    Will I be refreshed? I want to know your experiences.

    nurse2033 replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to look out for yourself. If you aren't happy, ask yourself if the climate is likely to change soon. If not, start looking for a new job. Look for a unit where there a lot of

    Should this be reported??

    nurse2033 replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't we advocates for all patients, not just those who happen to live in our area? I have a problem with your statement. Perhaps the nurse has learned her lesson and has become Mother Theresa,...

    nurse2033 replied to RN2BKS's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't work there but I know several people who have and it has an awesome reputation both from RNs and patients. I would recommend it to anyone and if my kids ever get really sick they are going...

    Blood on my hands

    nurse2033 replied to M.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are to be congratulated for stepping in, thanks. If you have a concern about exposure, in the future, get the patient's name and destination. I keep some BSI stuff in my car for this reason. Good...

    is this what nursing is supposed to be like?

    nurse2033 replied to newnurse012's topic in General Nursing

    You work on a bad unit. Look for a hospital or unit that shows signs of staff working there a long time. I chose my hospital because most of the staff have been there a long time. That says a lot...

    Anything I can do in school to maximize ER hiring after graduation?

    nurse2033 replied to ERGirl83's topic in Emergency

    I would get a job in an ER as a tech. I had ten years experience as a paramedic when I became an RN and couldn't get an ER job because I was a "new grad". This tells a lot about what nurses think of...

    nurse2033 replied to eyeball's topic in General Nursing

    There was a time when you didn't feel this way. What has changed? Your perception and outlook. I would find a way to cope while you look for a new job. I left a job I hated and stayed longer than I...

    Future male nurse looking for advice and or suggestions

    nurse2033 replied to malestudentat49's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would head straight for an RN program. The career options are so much better and more varied. And you don't have thirty years to bounce around an industry. The time investment is similar with better...

    Ever had a patient or family members fire you?

    nurse2033 replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, thank God! The patient was critically ill and terminally disabled, and cared for by his wife at home (poorly I might add). She had her own way of "nursing" that included smearing Crisco on his...

    What is your policy on giving patient info over the phone?

    nurse2033 replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    We use the last four digits of the patient's medical record number as a code. This is given to the patient or family at first contact. This makes it easy for staff to check the code against the...
